. PREFACE.
4b
The Shipping and Mercantile Communities have long felt the want
of a work containing in a concise and comprehensive form the various
t
Port and Harbour Charges of the United Kingdom.
This work has been designed to supply this want; and, in addi¬
tion, to furnish a large amount of information as to depths of water,
situation and capacity of docks, &c., &c., which cannot but be of great
utility.
The Compiler has spared neither time, labour, nor expense in
endeavouring to make it thoroughly trustworthy. Most of the infor¬
mation has been obtained by direct personal and written communica¬
tion with the Dock and Harbouij authorities; and the whole has been
digested and arranged so as to place it before the public in a clear
and convenient form.
The Compiler begs to tender his warmest thanks to the numerous
gentlemen in all parts of the kingdom who have so courteously
supplied him with necessary and valuable information, and to express
the pleasure with which he will receive from them, or from others,
any correction of inaccuracies that may inadvertently have crept into
this edition.
He is hopeful that the work will be found to be of considerable
value to those great communities for whose use it was principally
prepared ; and sincerely trusts that his hopes may be realized.

BELFAST—BERWICK-ON-TWEED. 25
Vessels not above 200 tons, towed from Quays to Graving Dock Basin, Patent Slip, or
shifted from plaoe to place at the Quays, the charge will be 10s. each ; not above 400 tons
15s. each ; and above 400 tons, £1 each.
In all cases Entrance fees are charged. The fee paid for Graving Dock No. 1 is de¬
ducted in settling the account. The fee paid for Dock No. 2 frees the vessel from pump¬
ing for the first four tides, and is therefore retained. The fee paid for Slip is settled for
in traction—that is, it frees vessels under 500 tons from this charge ; and, in the case of
vessels above 500 tons which pay Id. per ton traction, it is deducted at settlement.

Port. The floating harbour extends about 3 miles from the entrance lock
at Rownham to the dam at Temple Meads ; depth of water 22 feet. The
quays upwards of a mile long. There are • two basins for the temporary
accommodation of vessels, one at Rownham for large ships, the other below
the Iron Bridge at Bedminster. There are several capacious graving docks
and ship-yards suitable for vessels of any dimensions.
The Bristol Channel is celebrated for its high tides. They rise at King-
road at the mouth of the Avon from 48 feet at springs to 23 feet at neaps;
while the rise at the entrance to the floating harbour at Rownham varies
from 33 feet to 20 feet. In consequence of this extraordinary rise, the
largest ships come up to the city.

Pilots taken on board of any vessel inward bound to the westward of Ilfracombe, shall
be paid the same pilotage rates as from Lundy Island; if between the Nash Point and

GLOUCESTER.
Holmes, the same rates as from the Nash Point; and if between the Holmes and Kingroad,
the same as from the Holmes.
Pilots discharged from any vessel on the ontward voyage between any of the stages
mentioned in the above scale of rates, shall be paid the same pilotage rates as if they had
been taken to the next stage beyond the place where they were discharged.
All vessels piloted to Chepstow or to Lydney shall pay the same pilotage rates as to
Sharpness, and vice versa, with the exception of coal-laden vessels coastwise to and from
Lydney, under 200 tons register, for which a special scale of charges, at a reduced rate, is
provided by the fourth pilotage bye-law.
Vessels piloted from Sharpness to Lydney, or from Lydney to Sharpness, and then to
Kingroad, shall pay the same rates as between Sharpness and Kingroad.
Vessels piloted to or from any place on the river Severn above Sharpness, shall pay one-
fourth more than the rates between Sharpness and Kingroad.
All light vessels between Kingroad and Sharpness, or any intermediate point, shall be
entitled to one-fifth reduction on the full pilotage charges for that portion of the district;
and all vessels propelled or towed wholly by steam power between Kingroad and Sharp¬
ness, or any intermediate point, shall be entitled to a further reduction of one-fourth of
the full pilotage charges for that portion of the district.
Vessels taking a pilot from Kingroad to any place on the river Severn must employ
assistants to the pilot, whose number and payment are regulated by the sixth pilotage
bye-law.
Vessels retaining a pilot on board after he has discharged the duties for which he was
engaged, or whilst waiting for water up the river Severn, or whilst delayed by contrary
winds when outward bound, and vessels in charge of a pilot compelled to bear up and
return from the westward from stress of weather or accident, must compensate him
according to the regulations contained in the seventh, eighth, and ninth pilotage bye-laws.
In addition to the foregoing charges, a collector's fee, varying according to the size of
the vessel, from 6d. to 2s. 6d., is payable under the tenth pilotage bye-law.
Pilots must produce a printed copy of the bye-laws to any master of a vessel or other
person employing him, when required so to do, under penalty in case of a refusal.
Note.—Every Bristol Channel pilot duly licensed by either of the pilotage authorities of
Bristol, Cardiff, Newport, or Gloucester, is authorised and required, on being called upon
by the master of any vessel bound to a port in the Channel to which he does not belong,
in the absence of a pilot of that port, to pilot such vessel over such portion of the Channel
waters as he is licensed for. In doing so, the act subjects him to the government and
regulations of the port to which such vessel is bound. Such pilot may also, at the request
of the master of the vessel, be superseded by a pilot of the port to which the vessel is
bound, such payment being made to him for the pilotage already performed, as may be
determined by the board of the port to which such vessel is bound.

135
A pilot taken on board a vessel at the distance of three leagues or further to the south¬
ward and westward of Holyhead, shall be entitled to the following additional pay,
provided a clear understanding shall have been come to between him and the master that
his services are accepted, and that he is to receive such additional pay, and the same shall
have been recorded in the log book of the pilot vessel as well as in that of the ship, and
he shall have received a certificate thereof from the master, viz.:—
On having a Liverpool pilot on board, off Point Linas, and landing
the Holyhead pilot there £3 3 0
On landing the pilot at the Great Orme's Head' 4 4 0
If a pilot is taken beyond the limits of his licence to Chester
Water, or to Liverpool 5 5 0
With the sum of 7s. 6d. per day for every day such pilot may be detained on board in
consequence of the ship or vessel performing quarantine, or being detained under any
other restriction such ships may be liable to.
Pilots boarding ships and vessels at a less distance than three leagues from the Head, as
above, are to receive 10s. 6d. less for pilotage than the above rates.
It is particularly requested that commanders of ships, on discharging their pilots off
Point Linas, or the Orme's Head, should be certain that such pilots will be taken on shore
without being delayed on board such vessels or boats as may receive them; as a pilot will
be entitled to 7s. 6d. per day for every day he shall be kept out from landing after the day
he is discharged from the ship or vessel he may have piloted, unless it can be proved that
such delay had unavoidably happened from the violence of the wind and weather.

entrance varies from 66 to 30 feet, until Erith Reach is arrived at, where
the depth is 14 feet. The depth then decreases in Halfway Reach to 13
feet. Vessels in the Lower Pool, or from Limehouse to the Thames Tunnel,
lie moored in tiers, head and stern, in from 14 to 16 feet of water; in the
Upper Pool, or from the Thames Tunnel to London Bridge, in from 13 to
15 feet. Besides those, there are numerous other mooring places where
vessels can swing, viz.: Limehouse, Blackwall, South Gallions, and Graves-
end Reaches. In St. Clement's Reach, vessels usually swing to adjust their
compasses. There are several docks, with plenty of warehouse, cranage
(hydraulic and steam), graving dock, and patent slip accommodation.
Several of the docks are connected with railways ; and at the Victoria Dock
there is a hydraulic lift for vessels. The Gray's Chalk Quarries Company
(Limited) have recently constructed a jetty, 300 feet long, at which vessels
can receive ballast with great despatch.—See advt.
During the year 1870, 40,839 vessels, of 11,169,746 tons, entered and
cleared the port.

Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, be privileged to enter the ports of this king¬
dom upon paying the same duties of tonnage as are paid by British ships, in which case
such ships and vessels not having British registers shall pay the like rates of pilotage only
as are payable by ships having British registers; the said surplus rate, chargeable upon
unprivileged foreign vessels, is to be paid to the collector of this Corporation's light duties,
at the Custom House, Plymouth.
Should any ship above 17 feet water be boarded while the western land is open off the
Ram Head by one of the second-class pilots, and he runs the ship as far in as either of
the buoys on the Panther or Shovel, and is there superseded by one of the first-class, he
shall be entitled to one-third of the pilotage.
If a master choose to retain or employ a pilot whilst at anchor, the rate for the lay days
is to be 7s. 6d. a-day, not including the day coming in or going out.

passengers), which enter any of the harbours of the island, perform any act
of trade therein, and remain beyond one tide (twelve hours) per ton 0 8
Well understood that after having paid 8d per ton, if in an interval not ex¬
ceeding one week, the vessel again touches at Guernsey on its return
voyage it shall not pay anything more, unless it remains in one of the
harbours more than a tide, in which case it shall pay an extra Id. per ton.

at the eastern end of the canal there is a basin and wharf, where vessels
can discharge free of wharfage dues. The depth of water in the canal at
ordinary spring tides is 16 feet 6 inches, and at neaps 12 feet; but vessels
not drawing over 15 feet can lie afloat at all tides inside the lock gates.
The depth of water over the sill of the lock at ordinary spring tides is 21

SOUTHAMPTON, a sea-port of England, a county of itself, in
Hampshire, at the embouchure of the Itchen, in an inlet of the sea called
Southampton Water, 12 miles S. by E. of Winchester, and 78f miles W.S.W.
of London, by London and South-Western Railway. Population in 1871,
54,057.
Southampton Water forms one of the finest harbours in the kingdom,
being quite land-locked, and its approaches are so protected that no sea of
any consequence can rise. The largest ships arrive at and leave the har¬
bour at all times of tide. The anchorage is remarkably good.
Tides.—There is a double high water at this port, the knowledge of which
is most important to the mariner. The first high water at the full and
change of the moon is at lOh. 80m. the second high water at 12h. 45m.,
and low water at 4h. The rise at springs is 18 feet, and at neaps 8 feet.
To ships using the graving docks this double tide is very advantageous, as
the water remains nearly stationary for two hours, thus, without risk,
allowing vessels to come out of dock, and others to enter, without losing a
tide.
At the upper part of Southampton Water are constructed two large wet
docks and three dry docks. For dimensions and other information, see map.
The docks are in communication with railways, and every facility is pro¬
vided for landing and shipping cargoes. There is extensive warehouse and
quay accommodation. Massive steam shears are provided in the graving
docks for lifting 100 tons.
Ships resorting to Southampton for repairs have the advantage of finding-
plenty of labourage and materials at reasonable charges; also, stores and
provisions at the same price as in London.
Southampton is the entrepot for some of the greatest steam lines in the
world, viz.:—The Peninsular and Oriental, the Union Steam-ship Company,
the North German Lloyd's Steam-ship Company, and others.
The number of vessels entered and cleared in 1870 was 2654, with a
tonnage of 986,417.

TYNE POUTS : Consisting of the ancient Port of Newcastle-upon-
Tyne, divided, for Custom House purposes, into three Customs Ports, viz.,
Newcastle, North Shields, and South Shields, situated respectively in the
town and county of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and the counties of Northumber¬
land and Durham.
/
The conservancy of the river is in the hands of the Commissioners, con¬
stituted by the Tyne Improvement Act, 1850.
18,956 vessels, having an aggregate registered tonnage of 4,897,878,
cleared outwards from the River Tyne in 1871.
Iron shipbuilding is very extensively carried on at works on both sides
of the river. At the works of Messrs. Palmer & Co., Jarrow; Messrs.
Mitchell & Co., Low Walker; Messrs. Leslie & Co., Hebburn; Messrs.
Wigliam Richardson & Co., Walker; Messrs. T. & W. Smith, North Shields;
Messrs. Schlesinger, Davis & Co., Wallsend, and others, some of the
largest war and merchant steamers have been built. There are also
extensive works for the manufacture of engines, hemp and wire rope,
sails, cables, anchors, and other articles required in the fitting-out of ships;
and there are dry docks and patent slips capable of accommodating vessels
of the largest burthen.
The Tyne is the chief coal port of the United Kingdom. In 1871,
6,212,906 tons were exported. It is also famed for the manufacture of
chemicals, copper, lead, iron, steel, glass, cement, and earthenware.
The Imports consist of timber, grain, esparto fibre (of which article one
half of the total quantity imported into the United Kingdom, in 1871, was
discharged at the North Eastern Railway Company's Tyne Dock), hemp,
tallow, guano, fruit, cattle, iron, copper and other ores, &c.
x
306
TYNE PORTS.
The Exports are coal, coke, chemicals, cement, glass, iron, earthenware,
lead, fire-clay goods, &c.
There are two docks, viz., the Northumberland Dock on the north side of
the river, and the Tyne Dock on the south side. The former is used chiefly
for the export of coal, and in connection therewith there are in course of
construction, and nearly completed, a quay opening to the river with staiths,
railways, &c., for the accommodation of screw steamers—and wharves, &c.
for imported goods both inside and outside the dock. At the Tyne Dock,
not only are there ample facilities for shipping coals, (of which 2,776,762
tons were shipped during 1871,) but also for loading and discharging vessels
of large burthen with general cargoes.—See Map.
The River Tyne Commissioners are seeking Parliamentary powers to
construct an Import Dock at Coble Dene, a short distance below the North¬
umberland Dock ; and the North Eastern Railway Company will shortly
commence enlarging their present Tyne Dock, by adding to it extensive
Import and Export Docks and timber ponds, and additional warehouses for
grain, &c. The quay at Newcastle extends for a length of about 1200 yards,
and is being extended.
The river and docks give berthage accommodation for upwards of 2,000
vessels at one time.
Private wharves, warehouses, timber ponds, &c., are provided at various
places on either side of the river.
The depth of water at the entrance of the Tyne, and through Shields Har¬
bour up to the entrance of the docks, is 23 feet at low water and 38 feet at
high water spring tides. The least depth between the docks and Newcastle
being 14 feet at low water and 29 feet at high water spring tides.
The population of the four municipal boroughs on the banks of the Tyne,
by the Census of 1871, was as follows :—Newcastle, 128,160 ; Gateshead,

THE
SOUTH WALES STEAM COAL COLLIERIES' ASSOCIATION
deem it necessary to CAUTION buyers of South Wales Smokeless Steam
Coal that there are Shippers of Coal (not themselves proprietors of any
Collieries) who adopt a practice of mixing with different Steam Coals a
large quantity of Coal of an inferior and bituminous character, and then
certify the whole either under names which do not belong to the Coal of
any Colliery in the District, or under some such general denomination as
" Cardiff," " Merthyr," 11 Aberdare," &c. The result leads to dissatis¬
faction on the part of consumers, and at the same time detracts from the
high reputation of the South Wales Steam Coal. A cargo of such mixed
Coal was recently shipped as best Steam Coal, which not only consisted of
a mixture of Coals from the Collieries of nine or ten different proprietors,
but one half was actually made up of the cheaper bituminous (house)
' Coals of the neighbourhood, and was, therefore, not at all adapted for the
purposes for which South Wales Steam Coal proper is so highly prized.
In all cases where orders are not given direct to the Steam Coal Colliery
Proprietors, the Association recommend buyers to satisfy themselves that
the certificates which are given on the Bills of Lading or otherwise do
bear the name or names adopted by the Proprietors for the Coal from their
respective Collieries, with the signature of the Proprietors or of their re¬
spective Agents. ALEX. DALZIEL, Sechetaey.
